Agreed but the smaller form factor and PNP nature is cool. I use mine for spots and they are mounted on frames all wired up. Too lazy to redo it. I gotta ask. I always wondered about a Falcon DSC. Is it practical to design something that would make a hub or F16 port dumb? Maybe not enough interest to justify.

This idea is similar to RobG's flood boards. They have a WS2811 chip on them and drive a 10W (or higher) LED light. You can't drive a string of dumb RGB off of them, but you can use them to hang LED flood lights off of a pixel port. I have one port on a F16v1 which runs 4 of these 20W flood boards. The 20W boards require 24V or higher power so I use power injection right at the controller to power the floods. The 20W flood board kits were under $10 including the 20W LED.

Shoot, I was talking about the DLA DSC. I have had them for years and now have a use to just light up an area of different colors. No need for smart string nodes. I have had these from the beginning. I got it figured out. Plus thanks for all the other comments on this post. I now have more things to buy in the next few years. lol
